John Oliver: The Internet attacks any woman who speaks her mind online

Despite Google removing revenge porn from its search results and Reddit banning five subreddits for abusive behavior, online harassment is still a prominent problem; many states still don't have any laws against revenge porn.

In a 16-minute segment on Last Week Tonight, host John Oliver was quick to point this out, referring to "any woman who makes the mistake of having a thought in her mind, and then vocalizing it online."

He added, however, that the Intimate Privacy Protection Act could help protect users' privacies, making it a crime to post revenge porn. "And for the rest of us, it comes down to us, and to fundamentally changing the way we think about the Internet," Oliver said.
